The Organic Phosphorus Compounds Of Wheat Bran., J. Howard Mueller May 1914

The Organic Phosphorus Compounds Of Wheat Bran., J. Howard Mueller

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A growing interest has manifested itself within the past two or three years in "phytin" and "phytic acid", and in some of the compounds of the latter. Posternak first isolated this substance from the seeds of the red fir, pumpkin, pea, bean, white and yellow lupine and potato. Patten and Hart obtained the substance from wheat bran, and Hart and Tottingham found it in corn meal, oats and barley. The organic phosphorus materials obtained by alcoholic precipitations of aqueous or dilute acid extracts from these various sources are not identical, but ultimate analyses show a fair degree of similarity. Thus …

The Religious Element In The Popular Ballads., Elizabeth Phillips Mcconathy Jun 1913

The Religious Element In The Popular Ballads., Elizabeth Phillips Mcconathy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The present study of the religious element in the popular ballads is based largely on Mr. George L. Kittredge's edition of Mr. Francis J. Child's collection of English and Scottish popular ballads, the completeness of which, up to this time, has not been disputed.* Mr. Kittredge has printed in his volume one or more versions of every ballad which Mr. Child has given as an authentic folk ballad (omitting Nos. 33, 279, 281, 290 and 291), besides including a few of somewhat doubtful origin. It has not been judged necessary for the purposes of this article to discuss more than …

It is In his work that man gives himself to the world; in his literary efforts he gives a vivid portrayal of himself, his real and inner self is splendidly revealed, though the merely material man is kept in the background. Bearing this in mind the writer has endeavored not so much to depict the character of Moliere, but, rather by an analytical process, to designate the elements which …

Analysis Of Water-Insoluble Proteins Of Flesh : An Application Of Van Slyke's Method Of Analysis Of Pure Proteins., H. H. Mcgregor

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The fundamental importance of a definite knowledge of the quantity of each amino acid yielded by the several food proteins justifies the expenditure of much effort in studying the analytical methods in order that these may be improved or their limitations definitely ascertained." "From the standpoint of physiological chemistry it is highly desirable that the present very limited knowledge of the protein substances of flesh be increased." The desirability of a knowledge of the amino acid content of food proteins has led to much experimentation looking towards a method that will yield quantitative results without involving excessive time or manipulation …

Thesis, William H. Knox

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

All soil constituents are formed form the disintegration of rocks with the exception of a small percent of organic matter. The soil is sometimes removed as fast as formed by the action of water and air. Streams of running water, tides and waves, or the moving of immense ice fields called glaciers are the most active agencies. The land formed by the deposition of the materials carried by glaciers is usually known as drift. A large portion of the soil of the northeastern prairies has been formed in this way. Particularly is this true of the land lying east of …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Introduction: It is an undeniable fact that civilized nations are drifting towards socialism.

It has spread to all civilized nations and has won many earnest supporters in England, France Germany and the United States. A great deal of confusion results from the …
